A Delaware Boys Success.
HE MAKES 100000 IN THREE YEARS
AND Is SUING FOR MORE.

Egbert G. Handy, who left this State
for st. Paul, Mimi, about three years
ago, has struck it rich" Those who
are in a position to know say that he
has made at least 100000 and began
suit this week for $3.50, 900 more against
the st. Paul Globe for damages for vio-
lation of a contract. Mr.. Handy, who
is brother of Moses p. Handy, editor
of the Philadelphia NeiCs, and a son Of
the late Rev. Isaac w. X. Handy, of
Middletown, Del, owned and edited
the Newark Ledger before he left for
the West and had a hard time of IL
trying TO make both ends meet. He
got employment with the Globe shortly
after his arrival at st. Paul and became
at once interested in the real estate
business of the town. He believed
that the place had a future" and he
looked for boom in town lots. With
this in view he contracted with the
Globe to furnish it with all the real
estate advertising that it could or
would admit to its columns for the
next ten years at thirty cents an inch.
He bought few lots at the same time
and pushed real estate advertising with
all his energy. 1t began to move and
before the year was out the business
had such a boom that he could COM
mand almost any price for his space.
He received as much as eighty cents
an inch for the space for which he
was paying thirty and the Globe had to
publish supplements to accommodate
the business. He took lots in nav for
much of his newspaper space and these
he sold to advantage under the stimu-
lus of the boom which he had helped
so largely to make. His business in.
creased so fast that be had to emplov
help, and John B. u. Handy, his cousin
who is a brother of Superintendent T,
Irving Handy, Of Smyrna, and who
formerly taught school at Harrington
aud at Milford in this State. Joined
him about twenty months ago and
shared largely IN tho profits which no
was making. But tho Globe rot tired

The Only Way to Conquer Dyspeasis.

It is perfectly pre- i,osterous to in- troduce pepsin and other. artificial soi- vents into the stomach, in the eIpec- tation that they will assist digestion by acting on the food itself. They will not. Nor is it possible to the overcome dyspepsia The only want conquer that disorder, and prevents
 numerous diseases and disabilities to which it assuredly provokes, is to re- new the activity of gastric action by strengthening the stomach. Hostel. ter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most inve,eratc forms of indigestion by restoring vitality to the alimen,ary organs, and those which arc tributary to them. The liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the nerves, no less than the stomach, experience the invissr- a.ing effects Of that standard tonic, which possesses aIterauve properties that greatly enhance its beneficial in- auence, and give permanence to it's effects which they would not other wise possess. janI-Im

Correspondence of the CHAMPION

Editorial Correspondence of the CHAMPION PREscorr, ARiz., Jan. To, 1881. The I4th legislative assembly ha
 met. After considerable skirmishin,
 an organization in both branches ha,
 been effected. A gentleman by tn,
 name of A. Cornwall has been elected
 president of the council and S. F
 Webb speaker of the house.
 The democratic administration se
 far, have kept up the ideas that were
 proclaimed by the executive in the
 way of economy, until bill codifying the laws was passed by both houses, and has been signed by the governor thus becoming law.
 This will incur an expenditure oi about $6o per day, exclusive ot print ing the same when completed.
 It is noised about in the capital tha, some of the members do not think the present administration is consistent, but apparently to countrymen there is too much weight amongst the gen. tiemen that belong to the cities of the sun kissed land. Your representative is assured of one fact, that the repre-. sentatives of Apache county and pos sibly two from Yavapai county, think that county division would not be detrimental to those that for years have paid taxes m the northern DOT tion of AriroAa.
 As a matter of fact so far as we can learn the main fight is the same old one, removal of the capital; notice of a bill to remove the seat of govern. ment to Phenix has been given by the Senator from MarlcopA Co.,, Dr. Goodrich.
 Some of the Pima delegation, it is said, will not agree to the removal o( the capital. In the next few days it looks as though se;nr determination will be consumInated. or in other words, compromise will be made.
 The Apache county delegation con- sisting of Col. J. H. Breed, oi the council, and James Scott and J. Q. of the house, arc smongs, the different representatives as able and consistent law makers S we have observed, And they, together with Mir. Ashurst, of our town. will make records for themselves that can be pointed to with pride by the citi- Iens of northern Arizona.
 Prescott, which is the mountain city of northern Anizoua. seems 10 have experienced genuine boom and her citizens show il in their plea,ant as you meet them on the streets. The Prescott & Arizona Gen. tral Railway Company, we are in- formed. has contributed largely to this present condition of affairs.
 In my letter next week the merits and demerits of the bills already in- troduced as we'll as some that arc yet to be brought in will be discussed.

when they saw crowd turning the
 corner of Railroad Avenue and com
 ing towards them. When the body
 of men, who appeared to be about 70
 in number. wearing masks and armed,
 reached within about eight feet of the
 guards the leader leveled Winches-
 ter rife and ordered them 10 lay down
 their weapons and throw up their
 hands, which they immediately pro- ceeded to do. Two of the men then
 placed the guards with their backs to the fence adjoining the jail and the others entered the front room or hall way which was unfastened. The de-
 tails of what passed inside will prob ably never be known to any but those who took part in 1t. Crothers and West state that lamp was lit and they heard pounding on the door lead ing to the cell and the voice of George Hawks from the inside pleading that he was not guilty and that he would prove the statement next day. After a mo- mentary lull there was great noise and racket as if a desperate fight was going on, immediately followed by three shots in rapid succession and terrible yell, after short pause three more shots were fired when the mask- cd men emerged from the building; a voice said: "Guards scatter," and they disappeared Tn the darkness in different directions.
 The guard, obtaining light and some assistance examined the jail. The dead body of Geo. Hawks dressed only | in his under clothing, was found lying | in the open door way leading to the cells with three shots through him, one through the center of his body, one through his right hand and an- other which entered behind the ear and came out under the jaw. William Hawks was lying dressed on the hoor of the cell, having been shot twice, one shot had gone through his heart. A large lamp was broken in the strug- gle which took place and one of the men before leaving kicked the still burning remnants into the street, On the floor of the front room of .he jail was found rope about forty feet long with moose fixed at the end. This would seem to indicate that: the mob hanging only enc of the prisoners and the shooting was brought about by the desperate effort made to escape.

THE EXAMINATION.

An examination was commenced be. fsre J. Y. Brothers, Justice of the Peace, on Tuesday afternoon, but on ly two witnesses were examined, neither of whom gave any material evidence as to the shooting. The ex- animation was then adjourned until next day as MT. Berry's condition was critical and his death would alter the character of the offence.
 KILLING or THE PRISONERS.
 Alter Mir. Berry's death took place, the two Hawks boys, who had been around town all day, under surveil- lance of the constables, were locked up in jail. As the jail here is not a very safe building, prisoner having recently escaped from it, it was deter mined to appoint guards to watch on the outside during the night; two men to go on duty every two hours. Between the hours of IF and ? o'clock, J. Y. Crothers and William West were on duty. As the night was cold they kept themselves warm by walking up and down in front of the jail. Beth of them were armed, one having shot gun and the other a rife. A few minutes before o'clock they were standing about IS yards south of the jail towards the railroad,
